After waiting for a few seconds, there was no response from Wooden Cabin.
Rhodes frowned and knocked on the door again.
'Bang bang bang~'
"Hello, is anyone here?"
There is still no response within Wooden Cabin.
Rhodes felt a thump in his heart and secretly said, 'Not good'!
He raised his right arm and slammed into it.
The illusion of Sprite on the sofa in the living room mockingly raised two middle fingers at Rhodes and disappeared on the spot.
"Fake!" Rhodes cursed with a dark face and ran towards the bedroom quickly.
When he opened the bedroom door, 'Gilgamesh' and 'Makkari' hugging each other on the bed also disappeared in front of his eyes.
The moment Rhodes saw the illusion of 'Gilgamesh', he immediately recognized him as the 'Black Sovereign' who had just been entered into the wanted system!
He hurriedly pressed Headset to switch channels, and said urgently, "Headquarters! Headquarters! Found traces of Black Sovereign! Found traces of Black Sovereign!"
An inquiry immediately came from the headquarters. "Captain Rhodes, launch a capture operation immediately! Life or death!"
Rhodes smiled bitterly and replied, "It's over, they were very alert. They had already escaped when we arrived."
Headquarters: "..."
"Rhodes Captain, this operation is over, you need to submit a most detailed action report."
"Understood." Rhodes replied with tears in his eyes.
As he walked out, he switched back to team Communication Channel and said with some frustration, "Sorry, guys..."
Team Communication Channel was silent.
Rhodes: "This operation failed, and the entire responsibility lies with me."
Magitech Squad outside the room looked at each other and continued to remain silent.
Rhodes walked out of Wooden Cabin and came to his Enchanted Iron Armor.
The moment he was closed by the armor, he looked back at Wooden Cabin, his eyes full of regret.
At this time, his Headset automatically switched to another channel, and the voice of Tony sounded.
"Rhodes."
"Tony."
"I hope this failure will make you understand that the enemies you will encounter in the future will not be the armed thugs or terrorists of the past."
"Sorry, Tony."
"It's time to change some of the deep-rooted thoughts in your mind."
Rhodes took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I will learn from this lesson and promise not to make the same mistake next time!"
"Very good. Magitech Legion Rhodes Division, follow the order."
Rhodes was stunned when he heard this.
He immediately reacted and responded loudly, "Yes!"
The other fourteen Rhodes Squad team members hurriedly followed suit.
In Communication Channel, Tony's voice became strong and cold.
"Planet Chain Defense Formation detected the energy fluctuations of the unknown Starship, which finally appeared somewhere near Alaska to Arctic. The headquarters orders your magical equipment team to go to the location immediately and bring back Starship and Master of Starship!"
'Yes!'
"If there is resistance, no matter whether the opponent is male or female, old or young, all will be eliminated!"
"... Yes!"
The communication hangs up, Rhodes controls Enchanted Armor, facing fourteen subordinates.
"Guys..."
The fourteen men looked at him, but no one said anything.
"Headquarters orders that we must bring back Starship. If there is any resistance, we will destroy them all!"
"Yes, Captain Rhodes!" x 14
Rhodes's enchanted steel armor suddenly shot out a crimson light.
A Spatial Portal slowly opened.
Rhodes controlled Enchanted Armor and walked in first.
Alaska is a Glacial Valley close to Arctic.
Ikaris took Ajak to a cliff.
He pointed to the ice field below the cliff and said, "This is where I found traces of Deviants."
Ajak, not doubting his presence, came to the edge of the cliff and leaned out to observe the ice field below.
Ikaris looked at her back, a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
But immediately, he thought of the great mission he shouldered, and all the hesitation on his face disappeared.
He whispered softly, "Sorry, Ajak!"
Ajak After hearing this, he quickly turned around and looked at him.
"Ikaris, you...?"
Ikaris's eyes gradually turned cold. "Ajak, what you did betrayed Eternals's born mission..."
Ajak couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw this.
She hurriedly stretched out her hands and tried to calm down. "Calm down! Ikaris! Calm down!!!"
"We've experienced the best of humanity in the past, haven't we?!"
"The love, the art, the sacrifice..."
"That's enough!" Ikaris suddenly shouted and interrupted her.
He looked at Ajak angrily and reprimanded loudly. "Sersi chose to separate from me only after listening to your nonsense!"
"You keep talking about the beauty of human beings! But the reality is that human beings have never stopped killing each other!"
"Ajak, the moment you chose to side with humanity, you betrayed our mission!"
"No! Ikaris!" Seeing Ikaris walking step by step, Ajak hurriedly raised an energy shield.
"Wake up, Ikaris! Don't be brainwashed by Celestials's orders anymore!"
"Celestials never told us the price of 'Emergence', we have to pay a prosperous Living Planet!"
Ikaris slowly approached with an indifferent expression, golden energy beams bursting out of his eyes.
"Price? There is no price!"
"This is purification!"
"And you, Ajak, will be the first obstacle to be cleared!"
'Whoosh!' Two golden energy beams instantly shot in front of the energy shield in front of Ajak.
'Crack!' The energy shield only lasted for a few seconds before cracks appeared.
Ajak shook his head with disappointment. "No! Ikaris! This shouldn't be like this!"
"Your excess kindness has harmed you!" Ikaris pursed her lips and said harshly, "Farewell, Ajak!"
The high-energy beams emitted from his eyes instantly intensified, and the energy shield completely shattered with a 'click'.
The high-energy beam that lost its blockage directly bombarded Ajak's chest.
She only had time to cross her arms to block her chest, and then she was pushed off the cliff with terrifying force.
"No! Ikaris!"
Ajak's desperate roar cut through the biting cold wind whizzing by under the cliff, and gradually became inaudible as her Speed falling figure.
Ikaris walked slowly to the edge of the cliff and looked at the ice field below.
With a 'boom', Ajak fell heavily on the ice field.
Eternals's naturally strong body prevented her from being seriously injured.
Ajak quickly climbed up from the ice, his expression not relaxed at all.
The rising panic in her heart and her pounding heart kept reminding her that the surroundings were very dangerous!
She left the bottom of the cliff and walked slowly on the ice field, observing her surroundings vigilantly.
'Crack!'
Ajak stumbled and seemed to have hit something hard.
She quickly looked down and saw a dark brown section exposed in the kicked-away snow.
"This is...!"
She perked up and hurriedly knelt down and dug open the snow - it was a Remington M870 shotgun.
Ajak picked up the gun, quickly checked the condition of the shotgun, and loaded it neatly.
'Crack-crack!'
She held the gun and continued walking.
Suddenly, a long, shrill howl like a wolf's howl came from the cave at the end of the ice field.
"Awwww~!"
